Kurt Busch – Kurt Busch is entering Charlotte with some dark horse fantasy value. If he didn’t have his collision with Jimmie Johnson at the end of Kansas he would be entering this race having finished in the top ten in 4 of the last 5 races. At Charlotte Kurt Busch has been strong recently […]

Jimmie Johnson – Jimmie Johnson should be on your short list of favorites at Charlotte. He’s the most recent winner and it ranks as one of his best tracks. In his career at Charlotte he has 8 wins, has finished in the top five 48% percent of the time and in the top ten 61% […]

Aric Almirola – Aric Almirola has three straight results in the teens at intermediate tracks. On Saturday night I wouldn’t be surprised to see him finish around that range again. At Kansas Almirola has had some success. In 4 of the last 8 races he’s finished between 8th and 11th. Last fall he had a […]

Clint Bowyer – Kansas is Clint Bowyer’s home track and a strong finish should be expected from him. This year at intermediate tracks he has an 8.8 average result and has finished in the top 11 every race. At the three 1.5 mile tracks visited he’s finished in either 10th or 11th. Recently at Kansas […]

1) Brad Keselowski (Starting – 3rd) Talladega Fantasy Spin – Brad Keselowski is an elite performer at Talladega who’ll be tough to beat. When it comes to the art of drafting he ranks as one of the premiere performers. He knows how to make big moves in the draft and once he gets out front, he’s […]

Brad Keselowski – Brad Keselowski will be a favorite at Talladega. He’s an elite restrictor plate racer who knows how to race his way to the front and once he gets there he’s hard to get around. Recently Penske Racing has owned Talladega having won 4 of the last 5 races. In 3 of the […]

Richmond has earned the moniker, “The Action Track.” It’s an extremely racy venue and on Sunday we’ll see drivers all over the track, running low and high. Historically the low-line has been the way to win and on Sunday that’s where the winner will run. At Richmond starting up front is very important. The last […]

Danica Patrick – In three of the last five Richmond races Danica Patrick has finished in the teens. The bad news is that all of those teens results came in the fall events. Last fall at RIR Danica Patrick had her best result. When the checkered flag waved she finished 15th and had a 20th […]

Trevor Bayne – Trevor Bayne has shown improvement at Richmond, each race he’s finished better than the one before. Hopefully that trend holds true. Last year at Richmond Bayne finished in the teens twice which is pretty good by his standards. Last fall he had his best RIR race. In the event he finished 14th, […]

Kyle Busch – Richmond is a great track for Kyle Busch and he’ll be one of the drivers to beat. It’s one of his very best tracks and it’s home to his second best average finish (6.9). At Richmond Busch has 4 wins, has finished in the top five 65% percent of the time and […]

1) Kyle Busch (Starting – 7th) Bristol Fantasy Spin – Kyle Busch is always a popular fantasy pick at Bristol. He runs extremely well here and performs at an elite level. He just needs to shake off some bad luck, and I think he’s due to have an incident free race. In 4 of the […]

Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney is a quality sleeper NASCAR fantasy option at Bristol and his 22.7 average finish should help keep him below the radar. Last year at Bristol he ran well in both events. Last summer he had a strong car and was a top ten contender but finished a misleading 35th after […]

Kevin Harvick – Kevin Harvick will be tough to beat at Bristol. He’s the most recent winner and over the last couple of races at Thunder Valley he’s arguably been the strongest performer. Currently at Bristol he has three straight top tens, over this stretch he has the best driver rating, best average finish (3.3) […]

1) Brad Keselowski (Starting – 5th) Texas Fantasy Spin – Brad Keselowski will be tough to beat at Texas. I think he’s a top five driver who’ll be a factor to win. On Sunday he’ll start in 5th, when he started in that position at Atlanta earlier this year he raced his way to victory lane. […]
